Blonde Bombshell Blake Lively Has Epic Hair, and She Knows It
Actress Blake Lively has been a red carpet staple since she appeared in the film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants in 2005. Throughout her career—which includes playing Serena van der Woodsen in the hit series Gossip Girl, a surfer in The Shallows, and a fashion publicist in the comedy A Simple Favor—the American beauty’s approach to hair and makeup hasn’t changed much. And why should it? Lively knows that her messily tousled golden blonde waves are what the people want, and she’s going to deliver. However, the blonde bombshell isn’t afraid to switch up her style from time to time, recently stepping out in a ’50s-inspired faux lob. On Lively’s 34th birthday, here’s a look back at some of the many times her hair stole the show on the red carpet.
